Fatigue Is a Major Challenge for 85 Percent of People with Diabetes

As many as 85% of people with diabetes identified fatigue as one of their leading daily challenges, according to a recent survey of 8,000 diabetes patients. Only 6% of survey respondents noted that they use energy drinks. “Chronic fatigue may be symptomatic of [diabetes] and can make it difficult for someone with diabetes to be active enough to control weight and properly self-manage their disease,” stated Richard Corlin, chairman of Diabetica’s diabetes advisory board. “People with poorly controlled diabetes are often dehydrated and vitamin-B-depleted. These can be significant factors causing fatigue.” Diabetica Research Solutions
